You will not be able to get an "induction kit" for a carb mini- If you are looking to make yours breath better then you could look to put K&N cone filter on which would have a similar effect to an induction kit. Why do you want one?

On a 998, drill the airbox and fitt the uprated K&N paper element filter, gives imilar performance gains without that horrific K&N drone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Think one of Keith Calvers articles actually suggest the above method of standard airbox (drilled) is the best option

You cant get an induction kit for it. It already has the stage one kit fitted - cone filter, thinner carb needle, freeflow exhaust manifold and less restrictive exhaust. The next thing you can really do is get a bored cylinder head and change the cam if you want to increase the power more. Go for a stage 2/3 head and a road/race cam or something. But the breathing side of things has been covered. |

But the breathing side of things has been covered. i thought you had only fitted a new air filter and exhaust. why will i need a condenser? what effect will it have?? also what oil was you running it on and did you know what was causing the smoke?? im just trying to sort some things out before i send it away to my dads mate who restores classic's so it'll be cheaper. |
